Re: Samyang 85mm F1.4 MF on the shelf

Funny enough, I found a twice used Samyang 85mm F1.4 MF on the shelf. It has a Sony mount. I need to sell it or get an E-to-EF adapter (do those even exist? seems most people would be doing the opposite) and then pop it on top of the the EF-R adapter, oh boy.

It is impossible to adapt E to EF (or RF) due to the change in flange distance. If you adapted E to RF you would be unable to focus to infinity. If you adapted E to EF you'd probably not be able to focus outside of the lens in many cases.
